Review: No snails, all showed up alive and was faster then expected - Great quality! Will buy more plants for sure
Review: Waste of money - This is not what I expected. They were microscopic seeds? Sprouts? They were immediately eaten by fish when I placed them in the aquarium which I assumed I was supposed to do, but since they came with no instructions I had no idea and obviously none of them survived or grew... waste of money. Don't buy.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No snails, all showed up alive and was faster then expected
*by B***A on January 14, 2026*

Great quality! Will buy more plants for sure

### ⭐ Waste of money
*by J***N on September 22, 2025*

This is not what I expected. They were microscopic seeds? Sprouts? They were immediately eaten by fish when I placed them in the aquarium which I assumed I was supposed to do, but since they came with no instructions I had no idea and obviously none of them survived or grew... waste of money. Don't buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived fresh as if selected that day.
*by P***P on July 18, 2025*

After ordering plants from others and had bad results with receiving dead or nearly dead plants, I took another chance and glad I did. These arrived in a foil lined box with plants in an airtight bag to keep moist. Plump and looked as though they had been harvested that day. Now had them in water a couple of days and they are thriving. Very pleased with this seller, and myself for trying one more time, so I'll be ordering again for different options for sure.
